when i look at the properties of the file it says its
a txt file and so does the windows explorer when
looking at extensions
if you like i can get you a screen shot as well, or
maybe even send you a file, as for sending out, we are
able to send emails out.... these files on the other
hand are older then me working at my job, so i dont
know exactly what settings were changed from default
